Process for producing thiazole derivative

ABSTRACT

The present invention provides processes for producing a compound (5) based on the following reaction scheme.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a process for producing intermediates of a useful compound which exhibits an inhibitory action on an activated coagulation factor X, and which is thus useful as a preventive/therapeutic drug for thrombus-related diseases.

BACKGROUND ART

Compounds having a heterocyclic group and a diamine structure are known to be useful as preventive/therapeutic drugs for a variety of thrombus-related diseases, because they exhibit excellent inhibitory action against an activated coagulation factor (FXa) (Patent Documents 1 to 6, and others). For introducing a heterocyclic group into any of the above compounds, the compound of formula (5); i.e., 5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (hereinafter referred to as compound (5)):

is an important intermediate.

In one process which has hitherto been known to produce compound (5), a piperidone derivative is treated with phosphorus sulfide to thereby form a thiazole ring, and then, a methyl group is introduced to the 5-position by use of lithium aluminum hydride, and the 2-position is converted to a lithium salt of carboxylic acid (see, for example, Patent Document 7). In another known process, a mercapto group which has been introduced into a protected aminopyridine is subjected to a ring formation reaction, followed by chemical reduction of the pyridine ring to thereby form a lithium salt of carboxylic acid (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In yet another known process, protected piperidone is first transformed into 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine (hereinafter referred to as compound (2)) in the presence of a secondary amine by use of sulfur powder and cyanamide, then brominated with copper bromide(II) and alkyl nitrite, after which a methyl group is introduced to the 5-position by use of formaldehyde and triacetoxysodium borohydride, and the resultant 2-bromo-5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine (hereinafter referred to as compound (3)) is transformed to a lithium salt of carboxylic acid (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

However, any of the above methods involves reactions that are difficult to manipulate when performed on an industrial scale, and includes a considerable number of steps because protection/deprotection steps are needed. Moreover, since chromatography is employed for purification, the overall production time is extended, which is industrially disadvantageous. Also, a compound (5) isolated as a lithium salt is highly hygroscopic, and therefore handling is difficult. Moreover, since the compound (5) lacks stability, storage-related problems arise.

In the meantime, compound (2) has been known to be obtained by reacting 1-methyl-4-piperidone (hereinafter referred to as compound (1)) with bromine (see for example, Patent Document 8).

However, use of bromine is industrially disadvantageous, as it is difficult to handle and places a great load on the environment. Moreover, during the process, a brominated compound must be isolated as an intermediate, which means that the process requires two steps.

Another method which has been known for preparing a compound (3) includes bromination of compound (2) with copper bromide (II) (see, for example, Patent Document 9). However, this method requires copper bromide (II) in an amount equal to or more than that of the compound (2). This makes it difficult to separate by-produced copper salts after the reaction, and chromatography is needed for purifying compound (3). Thus, the method is industrially disadvantageous.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The processes for producing the compound (5) according to the present invention are represented by the following reaction scheme and will next be described.

Step (A): 1-Methyl-4-piperidone (1) or a salt thereof is reacted, in the presence of a secondary amine, with a sulfur powder and a cyanamide, to thereby produce a compound (2) or a salt thereof. The compound (1) may be prepared through, for example, methylation of 4-piperidone by use of a conventional method.

The amount of secondary amine added may be a catalytic amount, preferably 0.01 to 1.2 equivalents, more preferably 0.1 to 0.5 equivalents, still more preferably 0.1 equivalents on the basis of 1 mole of the compound (1).

No particular limitation is imposed on the reaction solvent, so long as the solvent is inert with respect to the reaction. Examples of the solvent which may be employed include alcoholic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol; ether solvents such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, and 1,4-dioxane; acetonitrile; and acetic acid alkyl ester solvents such as ethyl acetate and isopropyl acetate. Among these solvents, alcoholic solvents are preferred, with 2-propanol being more preferred.

The reaction temperature, which differs depending on the solvent to be employed, typically falls within a range of 0° C. to the boiling point of the solvent, preferably a range of 45° C. to the boiling point of the solvent. The reaction is carried out for about 1 to 24 hours, preferably about 2 to 5 hours until virtually completion.

The reaction mixture may be directly subjected to filtration to isolate the compound (2) as crystals. Alternatively, when the compound (2) is to be isolated in the form of a salt, an acidic compound is added to the reaction mixture.

The reaction temperature falls within a range of −78° C. to the boiling point of the solvent, preferably −78 to 0° C. The reaction is performed until virtually completion, for several minutes to 24 hours, preferably several minutes to 2 hours.

The compound (5) may be isolated in the form of a lithium salt by directly subjecting the reaction mixture to filtration. However, a lithium salt of the compound (5) is unstable. Therefore, preferably, the lithium salt is transformed into a free carboxylic acid, or, alternatively, a suitable second solvent is added to the resultant free carboxylic acid, and the solution is treated with an acidic compound, to thereby isolate the compound (5) as a salt.

Production Example 1 2-Cyano-5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine hydrochloride monohydrate

N,N-Dimethylacetamide (25 mL) was added to a mixture of copper cyanide (2.88 g) and sodium cyanide-(1.58 g), and the resultant mixture was heated at 150° C. until all ingredients were completely dissolved, to thereby give a clear, colorless solution. 2-Bromo-5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine (5.00 g) was added to the solution, and the resultant mixture was stirred at 150° C. for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, and toluene and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate were added thereto. After any insoluble material was filtered off, the toluene layer was separated from the aqueous layer, and the aqueous layer was further extracted with toluene twice. The toluene layers were combined, and the combined toluene layer was dried over sodium sulfate anhydrate. After any insoluble material was filtered off, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the concentrated residue was dissolved in ethanol (35 mL). To the solution was added dropwise 1N HCl in ethanol (25 mL) at room temperature, to thereby form a hydrochloride salt, and the resultant mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration, and were washed with ethanol (20 mL). The thus-obtained wet crystal was dried at room temperature under reduced pressure, to thereby give 3.05 g of the title compound.
